Abstract :
Health monitoring systems using wireless networks has become a constant concern in various fields, not only of medical plan but also in other domains in which bio-signal data collection from field teams, such as: firefighters, rescue service or emergency medical services, is important, especially in areas lacking communications. Mobile wearable sensors allow now more flexibility in collecting and transmitting these data. This paper presents a health monitoring system designed to work using a ZigBee network, suitable to be used in various fields of applications.
